BURGER IT! 


Games-—X has just received news that 
Virgin is to publish a game from the 
States on Nintendo, based on Ronald 
McDonald, Hamburglar and the crew. 

News of the game has been printed 
on some 3,000,000 ‘Happy Meal’ boxes, 
so chances are you'll be able to read 
more about it if you frequent the 
aforementioned fast food establishment. 

We understand this is a platform 
based romp and the scenario has 
Ronald chasing that varmint Hamburglar 
with a view to bringing the crook to 
justice in a vat of barbecue dip. 

If McDonalds is the first in a series 
of tie-ins with high street 
establishments, what next -— a game 
based on Ratners that costs less than a 
M &S prawn sandwich and lasts for fiv 
minutes? McDonalds is likely to hit th 
streets in the early part of next year.

EMPEROR 


mperor is the fourth in the successful 

KOEI war-game series, published by 
Infogrames. It embodies Corsica’s famous son 
Emperor Napoleon Boneparte, diminutive in 
stature but gigantic in reputation. : 

In Emperor you relive Napoleon’s destiny 
from the early days when the little corporal 
rose through the ranks to excel in the battle of 
the seige at Toulon, right through to the battle 
of Waterloo. 

This all-encompassing game puts you in 
charge of battle planning and strategy. You 
command the cavalry, artillery and infantry and 
take actual physical control over the canons. 

You can just imagine ol’ Boney getting off 
his horse and pushing the cannon men out of 
the way with the words, “non like zees, 
imbeciles!” 

Not only does 
Emperor cover battle 
simulation, but 
there’s also a 
political intrigue 
coupled with 
corruption, 
along with 
betrayal and 
private affairs. 
it will be 
released in 
mid-November 
on PC with Adlib 
soundcard support.

THUNDER BURNER 


hunder Burner has been given a deadly mission: to 
T destroy the hidden enemy base. To find it he must 
follow certain energy spheres and come into contact with 
them in order to recharge his strength. 

Thunder Burner is a transformable robot. In order to 
avoid obstacles in his way and destroy enemies he can 
use his ultra sophisticated capacities as a robot or 
suddenly take to the skies in the shape of a perfectly 
equipped plane!

will find themselves in all sorts of locations: forests, 
deserts and even the oceans.

“3 These aren’t your everyday twins. 
These are super-duper Mega Twins, 
brothers with attitude. So sit back 


for yet another scrolling hack’em-to-death 
platform game. Revenge is on your mind and, by 
jimminy, you're going to have it. 


ou'll have heard it all before. A 
Y land stuck in the quagmire of 
peace, everything is hunky- 


dory, and then the big nasty strikes. It’s 
always the big nasty. Everything is 
ruined, the kingdom is pillaged and the 
royal family is wiped out. 

As per usual there are survivors, in 
this case two; the twin sons of the king. 
15 years later these youngsters, 
brought up on a diet of vengeance, 
set out to rid their land of the 
scourge hanging over it. 

Mega Twins can only be 
described as a cuddly platform Le / 
beat’em-up. Based on_ the 
splendid coin-op of the same 
name, basically you'll have to 
jump aimlessly around, 
collecting items, beating the 


living daylights out of the baddies, and 
smiling when playing it. 

Initially, you are asked which area 
of the Mega Twins world you wish to 
travel through, whether it be land, air or 
sea. These early levels can be tackled in 


any order and, as you can imagine, each 
of these present their own problems of 
movement. You have to collect a snorkel 
to travel underwater and a winged 
helmet to succeed in the air. On land you 
simply need your wits and great skill to 
avoid nasty landings. 


OL’ BLUE EYES 


Each of the initial three levels contain 
their own selection of enemies as 
well as some people, gods or 
things to help you in your 


Dragon Blue Eyes and 
ea ‘estore the kingdom of 
Alurea to its former glory. 

It's worth noting down what is 
actually said, although it may 
seem. obvious later, simply 
because it builds up the sense of a 
massive game. 

The atmosphere increases 
significantly when the choice of level is 
no longer yours to make, and you are 
thrust into the troublesome fourth and 

j | Beneath 
i the great 
blue 
depths 
you'll be 
gasping for 
air the 
moment 
you paddle 
past 


fifth levels. Here you 
can feel a_ tangible 
sense of success, 
tight up to the 
moment when you 
run out of lives. 

| The enemies are 
a real bizarre bunch and it 
really does take some time to 
understand their weak spots. 

Some can be sliced neatly in two 
while others require quite a bit of 
constant sword action. This can be 
particularly frustrating when you're are 
losing valuable energy at the same time. 

If you survive the bigger nasties’ 
onslaughts, you will then have to 
face one of ithe particularly 
horrible end-of-level guardians. 

Surprisingly, these don't 
always look that bad, but believe 
me, they are tough to destroy, 
especially when they fight back. 


PRESSIES GALORE 

On your travels as one or both of the 
Mega Twins, you'll find all manner of 
essential goodies. These vary from 
health regeneration through to pots of 
gold. Actually, the baddies transform 
into a coin or two every time you 
manage to kill them, so you should 
never have money problems. 

Control is simple, basic joystick 
actions manoeuvre your heroes, 
together with fire for your sword’s 
parries and thrusts. You can also earn 

and collect special weapons and 
Eiptions to help you on your 
‘ quests. These vary from handy 
bombs through to typhoons and 
other handy goodies. 

As a game this is a joy to 
behold. It is easy to get to 
“grips with and also splendid 
to look at. It is a great platform 
product to hack around and with 
which you can generally enjoy yourself. 
Well worth a look.

Overall, Mega Twins is one 
“= heck of an enjoyable game. 
Amiga js pure platform fun with a 
cutesy set of characters and a nice 
unraveling story-line as you progress. 
It's rare to find a game which 
incorporates a two-player option and 
decent gameplay. Mega Twins succeeds 
well on both fronts, either challenging 
as the eldest twin on a lone quest, or 
hacking through the game with a friend. 
The soundtrack is your expected 
upbeat jingle jangles which, together 
with the variety of sound effects, 
ensures you won't feel the meed to 
frequently turn off the speakers. 
Graphically it is rather impressive. 
Smooth scrolling and sprite movement 


_ against a dazzlingly bright backdrop it 
I) looks extremely good. Even the twins 
l= determined expressions are depicted 


well in a cartoonesque style. One minor 


bs quibble is that on certain levels you are 


restricted to what's on screen. 

Nevertheless, Mega Twins does 
impart a rather special atmosphere 
allowing you to get more and more 
engrossed in the game as you progress. 

It is tough initially, Out it is well 
worth persevering with. If you hate 
platforms games, don’t bother but if 
youve had the slightest inkling of 
admiration, you'll love it. 


PRICE TBA OUT NOVEMBER 


The ST version has the same 
: glitzy, cutesy graphics and 
Atari ST story-line as the Amiga 
version. However, the quality of 
scrolling is a stage behind that of the 
Amiga. Obviously in the sonics 
department you can expect a significant 
difference in music quality.

On C64 expect chunky sprites with a

The Amstrad version has bright,

scrolling quality, not perfect but a good 
conversion. Expect simple coloured

' Mercenary 
| is one of 
- those 
games that just about 
everyone has either 


‘seen or played. Boot 


up Mercenary Iii and 
you'll have few . 
surprises. This game, 
however, is 
significantly different 
as well as being a 
great improvement on 
the original. 


he original Mercenary was 

quite a landmark for its time. 

Based in a world of wire 
framed reality, it introduced bizarre 
landscapes to travel through in an 
adventurous task. 

After many years waiting for the 
promised follow-up, Damocles was 
finally released. With a new 
programming engine and a clever little 
planetary control, you could travel 
around more to complete your quest, 
namely to save the world from the 
Damocles comet. 

You are now a heroic figure after 
success in your tasks. Unfortunately you 
are stuck in a ‘time warp’ prison. If you 
ever played Damocles you'll understand 
that this was a nasty trick on behalf of 
the programmers, where you were held 
in captivity until Mercenary III. 

When released you have two people 
to visit, either the solicitor, demanding 
his pound of flesh, or an enigmatic 
sounding Mr PC Bil. 

All routes to winning through in the 


Waiting for a bus can be a tedious affair, but once you've sussed 


out the routes you'll be cooking 


end are via Mr Bil in this game, so you 
might as well make an early start. 

You begin with the bare minimum of 
equipment and no flying craft. Of course 
you have a whopping 50 million credits 
for saving the planet, but that ain’t 
initially of much use to you. Resign 
yourself to the public transport system, a 
real gem. 

The bus service runs to a timetable 
on a specific route, so you may have to 
do a spot of waiting. (What’s new!) The 


taxi drivers run the real scams. Like the 
real thing, honest drivers do exist, but if 
you’re unlucky you'll be taken for a ride 
all over the place and you'll soon see 
your cosy 50 million disappear down 
the plug hole. 


ON THE BUSES 
There is far more character interaction 
in the Dion Conspiracy than in any 
other Mercenary. The storyline is 
therefore a good deal easier to get to

Bil for what he is as you set off on your 
desired path to complete the game. 

The game has six varying solutions, 
five of which are pretty obvious if you get 
stuck in. They are all concerned with 
halting PC Bils mining exploits and vary 
from destroying his equipment and 
pankrupting him, through to pushing 
yourself forward for the presidency.

own major cities, transport systems and 
economic backbone. 

Fighting isn’t such a major factor, 
but if you are that way inclined the game 
does offer a death or glory solution.

movement is a case of single keystrokes 
and joystick control. The open interaction 
and variety of solutions, ranging in

can really get your teeth into.

Mercenary Ill the Dion 
| Conspiracy is by far the best 
. game in the classic series. 
The gameplay is vastly improved 
because you aren’t dumped in the 
middle of nowhere without a clue of 
what you're supposed to do. 

Here you can open up the 
characters to glean vital clues to 
complete the game. Graphically, it does 
however look a trifle dated. 

The wire framed graphics have 
been filied in and the scrolling on the 
planetary level is smooth, although a 
tad jerky in places. 

The actual movement of the 
planets, moons and enemy space craft 
do scroll smoothly, although they can 
sometimes slow the game down when 
they fill the page. 

Sounds are no improvement on the 
original Mercenary but, strangely 
enough, this doesn’t affect the 
gameplay in any significant way despite 
the various pips and bleeps sometimes 
grating on your nerves. 

Dealing with the myriad of 
characters and solving the problems is 
too easy for the ardent adventurer, but 
you do have six options for success. 

You don’t actually communicate 
directly with the characters, but trigger 
off a set response, making you feel as 
useful as a tailor's dummy. 

At least you can glean some 
valuable clues for your travels. In any 
case, a bit of idle chit-chat never did 
anyone any harm. 

It’s hard to comment objectively on 
a game which will have people either 
loving or hating it. If you have the 
slightest inkling of admiration for 
Damocles, you should enjoy it. It’s 
definitely worth a look if nothing else.

The Amiga version is 
identical to the ST version. If 
you placed both side by 
side, you would be certainly pushed to 
find any difference. ; 

Being developed on the ST 
certainly adds to this fine line, but 
graphically and sonically the difference 
is minimal. 

There is the slightest change in the 
colours between versions, but even 
these are almost unnoticeable.

rogressing through Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong 

Il and Donkey Kong Jnr, our Italian heroes 

eventually managed to gain the recognition they 
so rightfully deserved. Now the boys are household 
names, Mario Mania has hit town! 

Like those other cult superstars the Teenage 
Mutant Hero Turtles and the Simpsons, the Mario 
Brothers have appeared in their own cartoon series. 
What's more, Mario and Luigi now appear in their very 
own game show. Nick Clarkson visited the Carlton 
Television Studios to discover just what was going on. 

The Super Mario Challenge is the brain child of 
Robb Hart, the chap who was responsible for the Dennis 
the Menace TV programme. Having visited a computer 
show and seen the enthusiasm for the Mario Brothers, 
Robb began working on ideas for the show. 

The initial suggestion was to have contestants 
suspended by wires in a life-size Mario-style game. 
Naturally such a show would prove a nightmare to set up 
so Robb came up with another idea. 

Together with David Harrison, the head of Ad Sales 
for the Childrens’ Channel, Robb decided on a formula 
which would include contestants actually playing the 
Super Mario game. David approached Nintendo with a 
basic outline of the show. Having received official 
backing the project was put into action. 


REAL LIVE MARIO! 


John Lenahan is an ideal choice for the show's 
presenter. John’s an American comedian who began his 
British career as a street performer at London's Covent 
Garden before moving onto the club circuit. John’s a 
self-confessed closet computer freak — an Atari ST 


1 wonder whether Nintendo realised quite 
what they were doing when they first 
introduced two Italian plumbers to the 
world? It’s been nearly a decade since the 


dynamic duo made their debut in a video 


game. Back in the beginning Mario and 
Luigi were upstaged by an oversized gorilla 
by the name of Donkey Kong. Now the boys 


are probably the world’s most loved 
computer characters. 


owner, he’s a great fan of adventure games, especially 
Dungeon Master. 

When John saw the advert for a childrens’ show 
presenter he wasn’t too keen, it was only when he 
noticed the computer link that he decided to Qive it a try. 
Prior to the interview he received a crashcourse in Super 
Mario Brothers 1 from his nephew. Finally, on the day of 
the interview John joined the other hopefuls. 

However, instead of dressing in formal clothes John 
arrived in white overalls, a red shirt and cap, with his 


moustache completing the ensemble. After : 
only a few seconds Robb Hart knew John fF 
Lenahan was the man for the job. j 

The shows are actually 


f 


recorded ii 


consecutively and up to 15 separate programmes can 
be filmed in any day. The show first appeared on The 
Childrens’ Channel at the beginning of October and 
featured Super Mario Brothers 1. 

60 contestants were chosen from Club Nintendo 
and now, after 15 knock-out rounds, 30 are left. The 


. (Above and Left) The actual Mario Bros 3 
game looks as though it's projected 
onto the screen at the back of the 
_ Studio. In actual fact the image is 
chromakeyed onto the green 
background by the crew 
in the control room. As you 
can see from the show's set 
the whole programme is 
dedicated to Mario 
Brothers. Presenter John 
Lenahan looks right at home 
in his overalls and even the 
kids have a good time 


second part of the show now features Super Mario 
Brothers 3 which is due out on 2nd November. 

Each show is made up of three rounds of play. 
Players must first battle against each other to see how 
fast they can complete a pre-determined level. The 
second round is played against the clock with the 

contestants attempting to gain as many points as 

possible within a given time. 
Finally another timed round challenges the 

Mario maniacs to see how many coins they can 

collect. In addition to the fevered action John 

Lenahan also presents some top tips to help 
players progress through the game. 


BEHIND THE SCENES 


Watching the programme from the comfort of your own 
home you could be fooled into believing that producing 
such a show is easy. Ah, the magic of television! In

(Below) Behind the scenes are ten NES units each with their own 
copy of Super Mario Brothers 3. Darrell and Keith madly get to ' 
different levels ready for the contestants to play. The original set 
up included an old BBC micro. Unfortunately the machine didn't 

work too well and good old human skill became necessary

reality the whole thing is organised chaos. On the floor 
John Lenahan presides over the 30 youngsters while the 


not 100 per cent reliable and in the end human talent 
was called upon. 
The nerve centre of the operation is the control 
room. It’s here that Robb Hart, Robin Parsons the 
vision mixer, Bob Harvey the director and a 
host of others make sense of what’s going 
on downstairs. Looking like something out of 
Star Trek the control desk is a myriad of 
buttons and dials to the layman. However, in 
the hands of these experts it’s truly magic. 
Combining the pictures being filmed by the cameras 
and the actual images from the game is a complex 
operation and timing is crucial. Watching the team put 
the programme together is an amazing experience. 


camera and sound crew go about their business. 

Behind the set are Darrell and Keith from 
the Nintendo Hotline. It’s their job to set up the 
consoles ready for the contestants to play the 
different levels. The sight of 10 Nintendo 
Entertainments Systems stacked up is quite 
daunting but Darrell and Keith seem to cope 
admirably. Despite being Mario experts, the two 
weren't Robb Hart's first choice. 

Initially the NESs were set up by a BBC micro 
which had all of Mario’s movements pre-recorded. 
Unfortunately, due to technical troubles the system was 


After a hectic morning session lunch is called and | 
set off to find out what some of the contestants thought 
of it all. To make sure everyone knew what was 
happening they were all given a copy of Super Mario 
Brothers 3 a couple of weeks before filming. 

Aimen Hassnyeh from London was knocked out of 
his round but thought the show was brilliant, even if he 
didn’t win. Jordan Ledger won his heat and was looking 
forward to the next round. 

Meanwhile, Matthew Kidd easily won through, 
although he shouldn’t have — he’s had a copy of Super 
Mario Brothers 3 for nearly a year and he’s completed it! 
The overall winner of the programme will win a trip all 
around Denmark; judging from the talents displayed by 
the 30 youngsters | certainly wouldn't 
rate my chances of coming close. 

The Super Mario Challenge is 
broadcast on The Children’s 
Channel. The latest 
rounds will be shown 
every weekday from 
the 4th November to 
the 22nd November. 
The programme is 
shown first at 12.10 
and then repeated 
at 17.10.

ercs, for those who didn’t know, 
Yd short for Mercenaries. This is 
crack team of commandos trained to kill 
or be killed. Mercs is also the new game 
for the Mega Drive, converted from the 
brilliant Capcom coin-op original. 

You take on the role of a Merc ona 
suicidal mission into enemy territory in 
a desperate attempt to rescue the 
president of the USA. Although armed 
with an array of _ i state-of-the-art 
weaponry, you are confronted with all 
kinds of hi-tech machinery driven by 
psychopathic enemy soldiers, 


To go with your ever poiverhn guns 
is a limited supply of rocket bombs. One 
of these will clear the screen of all foot 
soldiers and severely damage any tanks, 
planes and so on. 

On your way through these levels 
you will come across a few very handy 
and very empty enemy vehicle and gun 
turrets. You can leap into these and 
plough headlong into the sea of soldiers. 


When ensconced in these you cannot 
be injured by bullets. However, your 
safety doesn’t last forever. The vehicles 
will soon explode, sending you back into 
the path of skin damaging bullets. 

The arcade version of Mercs has 
Been faithfully copied, except the three- 
player option which is only to be 
expected. It even has the landslides 
which were cunningly left out of the 
Amiga and ST conversions. 


Graphically there are a few glitches 
but nothing too severe, and none of it 
wrecks the overall appearance in any 
way. Soundwise the game is also of top 
quality, incorporating many tunes and 
realistic blasting effects. 

The game plays immensely well and 
is every bit as addictive as the arcade 
original, something which is very rarely 
seen anywhere. 

Fans of the arcade will adore this 
conversion and anyone who enjoys 
mindless violence should check out this 
yee ae blast.

The tracks have two routes to follow,

allowing you to gain the maximum

The stunt course on the other hand is

is to drive a record fastest lap.

compete against the Blue Phantom, the 
current Hard Drivin’ champion. 

The race against the competent’ 
computer driver will test all your skills to 
the full cos any collisions will result in 
your disqualification. 

Hard Drivin’ is an. excellent 
conversion on the Lynx and comes as 
close to the arcade original as it could 
possibly be. Graphically the game is 
superb although a little slow, with the 
sound equally good. 

However, I did find that it lacked 
long-term appeal and turned out to be 
dull after a few races. On the whole this 
is an impressive driving game on the 
Atari hand held which is sadly let down 
by one or two gripes.

ce Hockey is the noblest of sports for 

the violence monger, with loads of 
grown men skating round an ice rink 
hitting each other, and occasionally a 
puck, with a large stick. The sport has 
been attempted many times on 
computer, the latest is Hit the Ice. 

Basically Ice Hockey is like football 
on ice with a bit of added violence. The 
aim is to outwit the other team and get 
the puck past the goalkeeper more times 
than they do to you. 

The winner is the team that has 
scored the most at the final hooter. If the

Here we have a standard pinball set-

to score wins. 

Hit the Ice is a very violent version of 
the sport, with three players on each 
team. You control one of the two 
attackers’ movements. All hits and 
passes are also controlled by you. 

When you lose possession you are 
allowed to regain it in any way you see 
fit. If this means the other player is going 
to spin across the ice, then so be it.

ove over F-Zero, here comes Top 
“WE Racer, set to ram other racing 
games right off the road. Using state-of- 
the-art graphics Top Racer brings you a 
fast ’n’ furious track racing game where 
you, as a driver of one of the many 
saloon cars featured, will have to beat 
the fierce competitors to the finish line. 

Appearing on the Super Famicom, 
Top Racer is being developed by racing 
supremo, Gremlin Graphics, which has 
had smash hits with classics like Toyota 
Rally and Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge. 


This offering is loosely based around 
the latter of these, and is a one or two- 
player game where the drivers compete 
against 18 computer controlled cars 
across 32 tracks which themselves are 
set across eight countries of the world. 

The player has a choice of four cars 
in which to race. The vehicles will have 
different acceleration rates, varying top 
Speeds, better or worse handling 
capabilities, and each will consume fuel 
at differing speeds. 

Top Racer will include three levels of 
racing difficulty; amateur, normal and 
professional. Starting at the easiest

on they will cling to the corner when 
motoring at speeds of over 200 mph! 

The tracks are mostly tarmac, 
although many of them feature desert 
and ice sections. Not only are these 
graphically impressive but they also 
effect the handling of the car too. 

Another feature included is night 
racing when your only vision aid is your 
headlights. On top of this the track often

sient 


changes rapidly from three lanes to as 
many as seven. 

Obstacles litter the sides of the road 
and objects such as rocks, trees and 
boards will bring your car to a sudden 
halt if rammed. 

The road rapidly changes from 
surface to surface, one minute grey 
tarmac, the next the plain desert, then 
under a series of tunnels. 

The controls are simple, with button 
X operating the accelerator, Y controil- 
ing the brake and A igniting one of the 
three nitros you are equipped with at the 
start of each race. 

The five gears are operated by 
tapping the Left and Right buttons on the 
top of the controller, Left for shifting 
down and Right to move up. 

The winner is the first person to 
complete the set amount of laps. If you 
drop below fifth place when you pass the 
finish line your game is over. 


== oeJam and Earl are two of the 

(| funkiest aliens to ever appear from 
the planet Funkotron but boy, have they 
had a bogus time of late. 

They were tripping across the Super 
Novas of their home galaxy when they 
came across a small problem. Well, a 
large planet actually! 

Earl decided to drive _ straight 
towards this huge lump of rock and now 
their ship has been smashed to pieces. 
There is a chance that the hip duo can 
salvage the wreckage, but they must 
find the parts first! 


ToeJam & Earl is a game for either 
one or two players. ToeJam is the three- 
legged Funkotron while Earl is the 
overweight alien. 

They will readily tell you their story, 
but that takes time and to be frank you 
don’t have much of that on your hands. 
To put it simply, you must guide the pair 
around a plethora of changing 
landscapes in search of the precious 
ship’s parts. 


You are blessed with three lives, 
each divided into an energy bar. Power 
is lost when you come into contact with 
the strange beings, namely Earthlings, 
that roam the intricate stages. 

You can fight back, but to do this you 
must first find the weapon with which to 
do so. This is either a slingshot or a 
supply of tomatoes which you can lob at 
the bogus dudes. 


~ Earl is jammin’ with his super Hi- 
tops, but wait a minute. Visit that 
wizard over there and he'll top up 
your energy for a mere buck 


The weaponry is found, along with a 
selection of other gear, in presents 
which can be picked up by walking over 
them. Because they are wrapped you do 
not know what goodies you will find 
inside until you open them. 


Items range from a pair of rocket 
skates which, when worn, propel 
ToeJam or Earl around the screen at 
high speed, to an inflatable replica of 
one of the duo which is used to decoy 
the Earthlings away. 

Using the D-pad for movement, 
button A will make ToeJam and Earl 
sneak along along on tip-toe so may 
don’t disturb any sleeping “ a 
enemies, while tapping C 
will show a map of the area 
already explored. 

Pressing B will bring up 
the inventory list, detailing 
how many presents they are 
carrying. A further tap of A 
will unwrap the present and 
use whatever's inside, either 
good or bad. 

The ship has been 
smashed into 10 pieces, but 
not every level hides a part. 

At the beginning of each 
stage you will be told | 
whether you must find a piece. 

If that is the case you have to 
explore the entire level in search of the 
precious object (surrounded by flashing 
lights and arrows!), then exit via the 
elevator. You can also search every 
nook and cranny for new and exciting

presents. Not only must you battle you 
way through each world to find the part 
of your ship, but it is also vital to make 
sure your ‘cool’ status is high. 

Considering you are two of the 
hippest ETs to rocket through space, 
you must make sure that you rate higher 
than a dufus as you aim to become the 
ultimate Funklord! 

ToeJam & Earl is an excellently 
presented humorous arcade adventure 
set in a totally weird galaxy. The game 
may seem complex to begin with, but 
you soon realise that controlling the 
dynamic duo couldn’t be easier. 

The game features a unique level 
design system which creates a new 
world every time you play, therefore 
presenting a brand-new challenge in 
every game. 

This obviously makes the lasting 
appeal high, and combined with the slick 
graphics, ear shattering sound and the 
easy gameplay, the result is an excellent 
release from Sega.

point in trying to win another one now is there.

| own a Mega Drive and my fave 
game is the excellent Super Hang On. | like -

l a alifornia Games is my favourite 
| game. | own a Commodore 64 
which | am very happy with. | prefer 
sports games to any other type on the 
computer although shoot'em-ups aren't

When I’m not playing on my 
computer | enjoy a bit of football, tennis 
and golf. A bit of an all-rounder you see! 
All other time is spent at school or on the 
computer. While I’m here | might as well

before today and therefore | could 
say | was rather lucky although | did -

| own a Sega Master System and 
a Spectrum, | don’t like anything on the 
latter because the games are all rubbish. On 
the Master System | like Psycho Fox. | 
When I'm not playing games | like to go into town, pay

THE ARCADE No.1 SMASH 


When the word arcade springs to 
mind so do two others, fun and 
Pacman. Pacman is the 

world’s most famous arcade 
character and is a symbol 
of fun to an estimated 
one third of the 

World's population. 


Tecmagik’s Master 
System conversion 
of the recent 3D 
Pacmania Coin-Op 
includes 

Level Select, 
Continue Play 

and the new 
Bounce feature. 
Plus 4 secret 
levels not even 
available on 
the original 
arcade 
version.

As an apprentice wizard 


studying beneath one 
of the great sages 
there are many 
temptations to be 
fought. The power of 
magic is not to be 
trifled with. 
Abuse it if 


ne quiet evening after the 
great wizard has had his 
Horlicks and gone to bed, you 
quietly and nervously creep into his 
study and examine the strange and 
mysterious scrawl contained within his 
powerful spell book. 

Reading the first incantation you 
see out loud, you direct whatever it is 
you're doing towards a large box of 
those fluffy things that people stick on 
phones. (Why the wizard has a box of 
such items is obviously something only 
known to mystics of a higher order). 


i 
ce 


Pazaam! (or some other such magic 
type word). The fuzzies instantly come to 
life, crawl out of the box and begin to 
dash around the house causing havoc! 
Oh no! What can you do? 

Hearing all the racket, old wizardy 
chops comes storming down the rickety 
stairs in his nightgown and floppy hat in 
a complete rage. 

“What the @$*# are you playing at 
young man?” cryeth he, “there’s 

bloomin ‘orrible little fluffy 
cretins crawling about all 


(Below) The stomping 
battle of the ferocious 
fuzzbails commences 


over the place!” To this statement of the 
obvious all you can muster is a blush 
and awry smile... 

“Right then, just for that”, he yelled, 
“lm going to turn you into a fuzzball and 
make you round ‘em all up! That'll 
teach you. Ha! 

“But just to make things 
worse I’m going to make it 
seem like you're jumping | 
around in a computer platforms” 
and ladders game!” Oh no! Not that, 
please! Anything but that... 


So here you are in the first level, 
gently bouncing up and down in a room 
filled with some quite vicious looking 
fuzzballs. What are you to do? 

Jumping around all the different 
platforms seems like a good idea, and 
you find that if you really strain 
yourself you can shoot little sparks 

of magic. 


Fpazaam! 


Nipping up to the first meanie you blast 
away and find that he soon turns into a 
tiny little ball. Now you can go and stomp 
on him to get rid of him for good! 

All that’s left to do now is go 
through 50 levels of this, stomping on all 
the meanies you find and picking up bits 
of fruit or cans of drink along the way. 

You better watch out though. If you 
don’t stomp on the bad guys they'll puff 
back out into more vicious and intelligent 
meanies which will chase you around 
making your life thoroughly difficult. 

Fuzzball is set to be the next 
release for the C64 and the Amiga from 
System 3. You can expect this fuzzy 
mayhem to hit your screens in 
November and it will be a little cheaper 


(Above) A full moon can play havec on your curiosity.

Recently | have been badgering my 
parents about getting an Amiga 500. 
After a month of annoyance they have 
(sort of) agreed to get me the computer. 
Now | want to get the Cartoon Classics 
pack and | was wondering... 

1. Do | need to buy a 500K upgrade to 
extend my memory to 1 Mb or is it 
included in the Cartoon Classics pack. 

2. Is a joystick included in the package, 
and if so what kind is it? 

3. Also (don’t think I’m stupid) please 
could you describe briefly what 
formatting a disk means and (if possible) 
how do you do it? 

I’ve been reading GX for two weeks 
now and already think it’s the cheapest 
and most extra special cool mag 
available. Oh, by the way, compared to 
Amigas, Mega Drives are Lada quality. 
Robbie Edmonstone, Jordonhill, 
Glasgow. 


1. The upgrade is included. 

2. No. 

3. The disks you buy are not formatied 
so that they can be bought for use on 
any machine. When a disk is formatted a 
certain configuration is created on the 
magnetic disk which allows your machine

with a bogie.” 

This may seem like an innocent 
comment but, the fact of the matter (as 
I'm sure you're all quite aware), is that 
the rental places are operating their 
cartridge hire schemes illegally. 

| find it difficult to believe that 
Games-X is endorsing such a thing, and 
that, in fact, the comment was merely an 
accident. But don’t you think it would be 
a good idea to set the record straight 
with your readers, who | assume are in 
the 13-18 age bracket. 

Don’t get me wrong, |’m not against 
the rental schemes. Personally, | think 
that the renting of cartridges is a good 
idea. The advantage for the dealer is the 
same as renting a video, except a 
cartridge cannot be pirated. 

The advantage to the customers is 
that they can see whether they like the 
game before they buy it, and they’ve 
also got access to a great deal of 
software, which in my opinion is a tad 
expensive, and beyond the reach of 
many a child’s pocket money. 


The problem though, lies with the 
manufacturer, be it Nintendo or Sega. At 
the moment they are losing out. 

OK, so they are huge companies, 
with assets probably reaching into the 
millions, but they still have to look after 
many smaller companies/ programming 
teams who get paid on a royalties basis. 

Now if a dealer decides on renting 
the software, once they have paid off the 
initial cost of the cartridge all of the 
| profits go to them. This to me is unfair 
| andis precisely why Sega is against it. 
As of 1st October, any dealers 
| caught doing any kind of rental schemes 
with Sega’s mechandise will be duly 
prosecuted. 

Just to bring this argument up to 
date, without naming any names, a 
certain large chain of video stores, after 
having Sega on their backs, have bowed 
down to their demands and have begun 
to sell instead of rent the software. 

Just as a final point, how does 
| Sega, and Nintendo as well, deal with 
| this sort of problem if indeed there is one 
in the US, Japan and the rest of Europe? 
J Peterson, Offerton, Cheshire. 


OK, it’s a fair cop! We shouldn't have 
printed the comment and as such would 
| like to put the record straight. It has 
always been illegal to hire out Sega 
games, but from October ist 1991 a 
clamp-down on renial began. 
| This is a very controversial subject 
| with many people holding very sirong 
views. | personally feel that rental is the 
best way for someone to decide on 
which games to buy. 

| agree with Mr Peterson in thinking 
that the asking price for software is very 
high and it is a good idea to try out a 
| game before making a purchase. 

Despite my own opinions it does not 
detract from the fact that the practice is 
| and always has been illegal in Europe, 
Japan and the States. 


| am a fan of your mag. Ever since it 
came to our local shop | have bought a 
copy because you give info about games 
before any other mag does. 

Well to the point, you see | am a 
Trekkie (unfortunate person — Doc) and 
in last week’s mag there was a piece on 


Siar Trek. | would like to ask some 
| questions about it. 

1. How, when and where will | be notified 
of the release date of the Amiga version 
of Star Trek? 

2. Are the sound effects as good on the 
Amiga as they are on the PC? ie Will it 
have the ‘SHHKKK’ of the elevator door 


| and the ‘DONNG DONNG’ of the 
heartbeat noises etc? 

__ 3. Roughly how much will it be? 

| 4. Why is Games-X the best mag 


around? 
| Dara Keogh, Galway, Ireland. 


1. Spring '92 
2. Yes, apart from the voice sim which is 


only available when an ad lib card is 
present. 

3. The price isn’t confirmed as yet. 

4, Because | work for it — Doc. Get off my 
page — Une. 


I've recently pocketed £ 


know whether to buy 
Game Gear. If you w 


would you buy? 

Could you please jell me who 
Caroline Machin is and why she’s so 
popular in your mag? Please could you 
give me Console Concepis’ full address. 


PS Your mag is absolutely marvellous! 
Kevin Grealey, West Croydon, 
Surrey. 


Difficult question this one. Both machines | 


come out more or less on a level 
pegging. However, because we've had 
so much software for the Lynx in the 
office recently that has to be the fave 
hand held with the GX team — at the 
moment that is. However, as soon as the 
Game Gear carts arrive who knows 
which will come out on top. 

Oh, not not C******* M***** again! 
We happened to bump into her on a 
Street Talk and havent been able to 
forget it! 


and knowing your m= 

would like to ask you some = 

1. Is F-117A coming out on the ST? F se 

when? 

2. Will it be better than -*S7 

3. Has Street Takk deem &% Tims 

Megastore in Maccle 7 

4. Why is the Neo G r 
And now for something completely 

different... 

5. Will Lemmings |! or 2 @ve creator be 
coming out for the Atar S 
Please answer my questions 
mean | do come from ‘he same town as 
the best mag in the unwerse “mm. that 

seems to ring 2 be" — Unc

1. It's only going i be released on the 
PC. 


[pearNewsagent, = || 


/ Please would you reserve/deliver a copy | | 
of Games-X every week for: j 


2. Well Fd suggest that you go out and | 


buy yourself a PC because F-117A is by 
far the superior game. 

3. Yep, you missed it. But we may return. 
4. The Neo Geo is the machine at the 
height of new technology and has no 
competitors at the mo. This all adds up to 
a high price. Given time these 
parameters will change and the machine 
will be n the reach of the masses. 

5. Lemmings II will be out in the first half 
of ‘92. but just to keep you going extra 
levels will be available before the end of 
the year.
